On the OSPF network shown in the figure, the cost values of links are marked. IS-IS Auto FRR is enabled on R1. The primary path from R1 to 10.0.3.3/32 is R1 → R2 → R3, and the backup path is R1 → R4 → R2 → R3.
The backup path should be an alternative shortest path that is as close as possible to the primary path in cost.
R1 → R4 → R2 → R3 is not a feasible backup path because the cost (65) is significantly higher than the primary path (15).
Step 3: Correct Backup Path Selection
If IS-IS Auto FRR is enabled, a feasible backup path should have a cost close to the primary path.
In this scenario, no viable alternative path meets the Auto FRR requirements efficiently.
The given backup path is incorrect.
Final Answer: ✅ FALSE (Option B)
